Questions about Igor in Japanese

How do you write Igor in Japanese?

Igor is written イゴル in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Igor would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written イゴール (as written in Japan) and イーゴリ (as written in Japan).

What are the best kanji for Igor?

Our top pick is 唯恋瑠 (Ikoru). 唯 means “the only one”, 恋 means “romance” and 瑠 means “lapis lazuli”. Other good options are 偉琥瑠 (Ikoru) and 唯五瑠 (Igoru).

Is 唯恋瑠 a real Japanese name?

Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 唯恋瑠 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

How many strokes is 唯恋瑠?

唯恋瑠 has 35 strokes in total (唯: 11, 恋: 10, 瑠: 14). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 唯恋瑠 as a tattoo?

Each character in 唯恋瑠 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Igor”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (イゴル) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
